Amanda Seyfried Says No ‘Mamma Mia’ Sequel


Amanda Seyfried, who portrayed the role of Sophie Sheridan in the movie, ‘Mamma Mia’ has denied the reports that the producers are planning to make the sequel of the 2008 release, ‘Mamma Mia’. The actress claimed that there is no point trying to make it.
Amanda Seyfried said, "I don`t think that`s correct. I don`t think it`s accurate. Because I don`t see the point in trying to top something.”
The actress maintained that the original movie was good and there is no way a sequel can be better than the original.
"I mean, maybe if they had a really good idea for a story, but I don`t think they would do it to top the first one. It`s a good movie. It`s an original piece. It`s something that was really popular on Broadway. It`s a great soundtrack; a good, family-friendly movie," the actress claimed.
Few days back, actress Meryl Streep expressed her desire to act in another ‘Mamma Mia’ movie which gave birth to the rumours of the sequel.

Jennifer Aniston Will Go For Plastic Surgery

Actress Jennifer Aniston has dismissed the rumours that she has already undergone plastic surgery. But, the actress admitted that she would consider cosmetic operation in the future.
"I will never, ever say 'never' about anything. And I don't think there's anything wrong with making yourself feel better about how you look - although we've all seen how you can go too far with it,” Jennifer Aniston said.
The actress added, "But for me, until that day has to happen, I'll try every other way to make myself feel good first."
The 40-years old actress complains that she gets irritated with rumours and wants to concentrate on her work.
The ‘Bounty' star said, “It’s such bulls**t. I normally ignore stories about me because they tend to take on a life of their own that has no connection with me, and I find that, no matter what I say or do, I can't find a way to correct them.”
"But it does get frustrating sometimes, because I happen to love my job, which is making movies I do it the best way I can. And I care about making films that people enjoy. I think it distracts from when some idiot somewhere, who's annoyed about something for some reason, has created a ridiculous story that I had saline implants over a weekend, or something," she added.

Megan Fox Reaches Out ‘Transformers 3’

Hollywood model-turned-actress Megan Fox has approached the crew of her forthcoming flick, ‘Transformers’, after they were quoted branding her dumb’ and ‘ungracious’.

The member added that she is not friendly with the crew members of the movie. “We work to make her look good in every way, but she's absolutely never appreciative of anyone's hard work," he said.
Now, the ‘Jennifer's Body’ beauty has reached out her colleagues to resolve the controversy.
Megan Fox said in a statement, "I have spoken with the parties involved privately. I am very fortunate to be involved in this amazing franchise and look forward to Transformers 3."
Anthony Steinhart, the Production Assistant of movie ‘Transformers 3’, has come forward to defend the 23-year old beauty.
A letter written by Anthony Steinhart reads, "I read the letter by the three unnamed crew people and was blown away by their description of Ms Fox. I have personally never been nor ever witnessed Ms Fox being rude or inconsiderate of people’s feelings or the work to be done. Everyone is entitled to their good days and bad. Contrary to popular belief, she is like us (human) and has both good and bad days as well."

Jaden Smith with Jackie Chan in Next Karate Kid

Will Smith's son tackles Jackie Chan in remake of Karate Kid

The 11-year-old actor is learning martial arts for his starring role in the remake of The Karate Kid.

And with Jackie Chan as his master, his kung fu skills should be up to scratch in no time.

Kung Fu Kid is currently being filmed on Wudang Mountain in Hubei, China, under the watchful eyes of Jaden's famous father Will Smith, who is a producer for the film.

Rather than learning Karate from an eccentric Japanese teacher name Mr Myagi, as in the 1984 original, Jaden stars as Dre, who moves to China and faces bullies who speak a different language and have a totally different culture.

He meets Mr Han, played by Chan, who mentors him in kung fu and teaches him that there is more to martial arts than fighting.

Chan, 55, is already impressed with Jaden's skills and wrote on his webpage about the youngster's dedication.

The veteran Hong Kong action star said Smith Junior learned the Chinese phrases for different moves, responded to orders in Mandarin, and treated his teacher, Wu Gang, according to traditional Chinese custom.

'When he was thirsty, he gave the traditional hand gesture, putting one fist into the palm of the other, bowed and asked permission to drink some water,' he said.

Chan said Jaden even learned the drunken fighter routine he made famous in his 1978 film Drunken Master.
'He put my son to shame! I provided my son with the best martial artists in the world, and he could not be persuaded to try it. In just two months, Jaden had learned so much. He is truly a talented boy,' Chan said.

Connie Nielsen Wants To Help Needful Children

Actress Connie Nielsen has claimed she wants to help needful children. The actress, who is portraying the role of an adoptive mother in her forthcoming movie; A Shine Of Rainbows’ insisted that she want to adopt a child.

The actress expressed her desire to expand her family. The ‘Gladiator’ star is dating Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich and has a two-year-old son.

She said, "I think we should all get around to taking in any child who needs love. I wish there was a better system for foster care and then we would be able to do more for those children. It's just heartbreaking even thinking that there are children who are in families that are going through crises and they're not being taken to other families.”

The actress added, "If I had a different job, one that kept me at home, I would seriously consider fostering children from anywhere, especially older children. Everyone can fall in love with the cuteness of a baby but having the heart to reach out to the damaged child that has to learn to trust again is more important."
